Insights is currently in beta. Share your feedback with your Customer Success Manager (CSM) to help us improve.

Insights serves as your centralized analytics hub for performance metrics, execution patterns, and return on investment (ROI) metrics. By analyzing data from workflow executions across your Itential Platform, Insights helps you:

  • Monitor platform health with visibility into workflow success rates and execution trends
  • Demonstrate ROI by quantifying time saved through automation
  • Identify performance issues before they impact operations
  • Optimize workflows using detailed performance metrics
  • Track adoption across teams and projects

Who should use Insights?

If you need high-level visibility into platform health and ROI metrics, Insights provides:

  • Summary dashboards showing automation usage and growth
  • Time saved calculations to demonstrate value
  • Success rate metrics to validate automation reliability
  • Project distribution to identify adoption across teams

If you develop and maintain workflows, Insights helps you:

  • Identify workflows with performance degradation
  • Troubleshoot failed or slow executions
  • Analyze execution patterns and bottlenecks
  • Compare workflow performance over time
  • Prioritize optimization efforts

Insights overview

Summary Dashboard

The Summary Dashboard provides high-level platform health and ROI metrics for executives and stakeholders, focusing on root jobs (complete business operations).

Key features:

  • At-a-Glance Metrics: Jobs run, completion rate, total runtime, time saved
  • Project Distribution: How workflows are distributed across projects
  • Workflow Highlights: Top workflows by various performance criteria
  • Root Job Execution Trends: Volume patterns over time
  • Execution Patterns Heatmap: When jobs run throughout the week

Workflows Overview

The Workflows Overview provides comprehensive performance analysis across all workflows, helping builders identify issues and optimization opportunities.

Key features:

  • Performance cards highlighting workflows with high cancelation rates or runtime degradation
  • Sortable, filterable table of all workflows with detailed metrics
  • Ability to toggle between root jobs and all jobs (root and child) views

Workflow Details

Workflow Details provide deep-dive analytics for individual workflows, enabling detailed troubleshooting and optimization.

Key features:

  • Workflow-specific at-a-glance metrics
  • Job-level execution analysis
  • Task-level bottleneck identification
  • Execution pattern analysis for individual workflows

How Insights works with other Itential products

Job Viewer

While Job Viewer provides detailed execution information for individual jobs, Insights provides aggregated analytics across all your workflow executions. Use Insights to identify trends and issues, then use Job Viewer for detailed troubleshooting.

Studio

Insights analyzes data from workflows created in Studio. To get the most value from Insights, configure pre-automation time for your workflows in Studio - this enables Insights to calculate time saved and demonstrate ROI.

Platform

Insights analyzes execution data from your Itential Platform environments. Select different environments in Insights to analyze performance across different environments, such as: development, staging, and production.
